Here is a few more, I got a killer price for it and since I had a 2017 2500 CTD I was able to transfer all of my stuff, It's pretty loaded for a SLT.

Nice I'm thinking of jumping up myself. Our tt is only about 7500 lbs loaded but next week is our second 1800mi trip this year with a lot of mountains. Not sure how long the ol 5.7 can hold on. It is a 18 though just never expected the long trips.

That's great! When you bought that 2500 last year I was concerned about your payload situation since that trailer of yours is a big heavy beast....but your good to go now I'm sure.

How's the ride with the rear leaf springs vs the coils on my 2500?

Great looking truck!!


What are the major differences between a 2500 and 3500 SRWs?

Heavier duty frame, bigger axles, trans???

Only real difference is the rear suspension - the 2500 has coil springs and the 3500 has leafs. Frame, axles, brakes are all the same.

Yes sir, I agree and at times it was eating at me almost 24/7 so that's why I had to do something about it,so now it is like a ton a weights have been lifted off. The ride is not too much different than the 2500, sure some times I can tell that the 3500 is a little stiff but not bad at all. I haven't hook it to my 5th wheel yet but I am going next week to see how much sag if any I will have, not going nowhere until later.
